External server-side components.

Most Jabber server implementations allow for add-on components that act as a separate entity on the Jabber network, but use the server-to-server functionality of a regular Jabber IM server. These so-called 'external components' are connected to the Jabber server using the Jabber Component Protocol as defined in JEP-0114.

This module allows for writing external server-side component by assigning one or more services implementing ijabber.IService up to ServiceManager. The ServiceManager connects to the Jabber server and is responsible for the corresponding XML stream.

Class ComponentInitiatingInitializer External server-side component authentication initializer for the initiating entity.
